Calpine Expanding Geothermal Capacity.
Calpine plans to increase electricity production at its Geysers geothermal power plant in Northern California.
Calpine will add 80 megawatts of capacity at the 725-megawatt Geysers through a two-year, multi-rig drilling program for additional steam and repowering generating units.
The Geysers, comprising 30 square miles along the Sonoma and Lake County border, is the largest complex of geothermal power plants in the world. Calpine owns and operates 19 of the 21 power plants at The Geysers has a net generating capacity sufficient to power 750,000 homes, or a city the size of San Francisco.
